Florida soccer returns to top 25 poll after stunning upset of Florida State
Florida soccer took another step in its return to promience Tuesday as the Gators appeared in the United Soccer Coaches top 25 poll after their upset of No. 3 FSU.
Florida soccer has reclaimed a spot in the top 25 of the United Soccer Coaches poll after a surprising upset victory over No. 3 Florida State. The Gators, led by Coach Nick Zimmerman, climbed to No. 20 after their win on Sunday, marking the first time they've been in the top 25 since 2015. This victory is particularly significant for the University of Florida, as it's the only SEC program with a national championship, won in 1998.
The win signifies a return to the standard set by former coach Becky Burleigh and is a major step forward for the program. The Gators will now face four other top 25 teams, including Wake Forest, Alabama, Vanderbilt, and Georgia, in the coming weeks.
